Photochemistry for Biomedical Applications: From Device Fabrication to Diagnosis and Therapy
This book describes medical applications of phohemistry. In the first part, a general introduction to phohemistry and related phototechnologies is provided. In the second part, phohemistry-based medical applications for diagnostics (biochips and bioimaging) and therapeutics (biomaterials for artificial organs, medical adhesives, dental materials, drug-delivery systems, tissue engineering, and photodynamic therapy) are described, with examples of recent research.
The year 2015 is the International Year of Light and Light-Based Technologies. Light plays a vital role in our daily lives and is important in many interdisciplinary scientific fields in the twenty-first century. Light-based concepts have revolutionized medicine, including areas such as oncology, molecular biology, and surgery. Although phohemistry has contributed significantly to medicine directly and through phohemical fabrication of biomaterials, a book giving a comprehensive overview of recent progress has not been published until now. The aim of this book is to highlight the contributions of phohemistry in interdisciplinary fields of chemistry and medical engineering. This book will be useful for chemists who are interested in medical applications of phohemistry and engineers who are eager to learn the principles of phohemistry to enable its use in practical applications.
